Our founding therapists

As an artist and expressive arts therapist, I love working with artists because I genuinely appreciate the way artists see and experience the world. Creativity can be both deeply fulfilling and incredibly vulnerable, and I enjoy creating a space where artists can explore the parts of themselves that may be harder to express elsewhere.

As someone who appreciates the courage it takes to show people their creativeness, I find working with artists very meaningful. Artists frequently pour their emotions, experiences and perspectives into their work, which can make the challenges they face feel especially personal. It's rewarding to support people who bring beauty, meaning and new ideas to this world.

Having been involved in creative disciplines myself from a young age (visual, music, dance), the art world holds a special place in my heart. I have experienced first-hand how artistic creativity can be an incredible tool for self-expression, healing, and political resistance while also understanding the complex challenges that come with being an artist. In my practice and my personal artistic life, I use a lot of somatic/body-based tools to strengthen the mind-body connection and would look forward to supporting others to do the same.

I love working with artists because I've seen firsthand how creativity and movement can support healing and personal growth. The creative process often includes some level of openness, self-awareness, and vulnerability. This can lend itself so naturally to therapy work. I also bring my own lived experience as an artist: eight years in intensive theatre school, including a BA in devised theatre, along with training in expressive arts.

I spent many years working professionally in theatre as an actor, director, creator, and drama educator before and alongside becoming a psychotherapist. Creativity has therefore always been more than an interest for me: it has been a central part of how I understand people, relationships, identity, and emotional expression. I especially enjoy working with artists and creatives because I understand both the joy and the vulnerability that can come with creative work: being seen, taking risks, facing rejection and questioning your worth.
